How Often Should You Replace Your Tap Water Filter? A Quick Guide
Installing a tap water filter is a great first step. But keeping it effective means knowing when it’s time to replace or refresh the filter unit. If you're unsure how often to replace your tap water filter, this quick guide will help you stay on top of clean, safe hydration.
Why Filter Replacement Matters
Over time, filters collect particles, chlorine, and other impurities. A clogged or overused filter:
- Reduces water flow
- Loses filtration performance
- May start affecting taste and smell
That’s why regular replacement is key to maintaining high-quality water.
General Replacement Guidelines
- Tap-mounted filters: Every 3 to 6 months
- Jug filters: Every 1 to 2 months
- Under-sink filters: Every 6 to 12 months (varies by model)
